10 Best Affordable Hotels in Vancouver, Canada (2025) | Condé Nast Traveler
"I noticed the building’s Virginia creeper vines and neon sign tucked among tall condos, and appreciated the property’s longevity and character: built in 1912 as an apartment, it later served as an apartment hotel through the Depression before becoming a full-service hotel. Rooms are basic but clean and comfortable, with some offering galley-style kitchens and sitting rooms — if you want a view, ask for a south-facing room on Beach Avenue overlooking English Bay." - Bianca Bujan
